JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Default The JEEP Build

Hey yall. I've been meaning to make on of these for a while now. It's nothing impressive yet. This is more for me so I can appreciate where it started when the build is all said and done. I've loved jeeps ever since I really got into cars but I was in no position to get a brand new ride when I first started driving. I owe me getting this Jeep solely to my parents, without them co-signing with me I wouldn't have it. I put the downpayment down but they did everything behind the scenes. I've loved making my cars my own since I've been able to drive so I'm excited to see where this goes. Anyway, hope yall enjoy. Ain't much right now but it'll get there.

What I came from:

First weekend with the top down and doors off. Went to pick up my brother in Annapolis. Great feeling.

Added Ace Rock Rails because I couldn't stand seeing the frame underneath plus I wanted something that would double as a step. Plus 5% tint.

Got nice and dirty finally. Handled the mud great. My buddies Cherokee got stuck in some ruts that I was able to pull right through with stock steelies.

Cleaned her up, added an American Flag for 9/11 and picked up some 33" BFG KM MT's and Street Lock D-Windows for 900$ Tons of tread loft. Got a great deal.
